Early Access v1.3.2

Features:
- New unique loading screens for each map (excluding custom maps)

Usually this update would've gone online around thursday/friday with more stuff in it.
But because it contains an important fix for savegames that sometimes got lost, we decided to release it asap!

Please restart Steam, if you don't see the update yet.

Again we want to apologize to all players who have lost their savegame and a big thank you to all who sent their player.log, that helped us pin down this bug!

Here's the full changelog for 0.6.1:



We did some balancing across towers and some enemies.

Our goal with these changes is to make the gun tower a little bit less of an allrounder and encourage players, to test out other towers aswell.
But at the same time we don't want to take the fun out of using the gun tower, so the nerf shouldn't hit too hard.

In general, we are okay if towers currently feel "overpowered" after fully upgrading them with skillpoints and equipment.
Please keep in mind that at this time only 6 Levels are released and the game is in, what we would consider, "mid-game" state.

However, we always try to listen to feedback and want to hear your opinions on this topic as well!
We consider balancing an ongoing task throughout the whole development.

• Drone Pod Sender can now be configured to only send Items back to the Inventory on a condition similar to Drone Pod Requester

• Players sadly had sometimes lost their save game on the first save slot.
  The Autosave System writes the current save file to the first save slot every 5 minutes, which, if you never loaded a save, would write an empty save file to it without start resources or items. This should be fixed now.
  
• Players sometimes didn't get start resources when starting a game for the first time.
  
• Improved loading times when coming back from a tower defense level.
  
• Option and "Surrender? Yes/No" Screens didn't close when the Victory/Defeat message pops up.
  
• An in progress Manual Crafting stopped by "Quit and Save" would result in lost resources.
  
• Drone Pod Sender and Grabber can now have Inventory Conditions based on Beacons and Equipment.

- The app now reports automatically to the developer when you cannot connect to the webserver. Hopefully this such let me track down any issues where people cannot connect.
- Fixed up the UI so that you can still Play Solo and Play Tutorial even if the webserver connection is disconnected.
- Now that these couple error-reporting updates are done, I'm hoping to add a couple more enemy types by the end of the week.

The vehicles now use a different set of impact clips unique to each vehicle. We think it feels a little hollow, so we are setting up a full foley day at the end of this month to get meaty impacts. Some props are meant to slide, so we'll see if our programmer can add a "sliding audio" feature to props based off velocity.

​We interrupt your daily flight to bring you a new patch. It adds the new Challenge menu, a section where you can review all challenges in the game, as well as sort them by completion status. You can also view and switch to any unlocked paintjobs here.

​The Shipyard was also updated to only display unlocked paintjobs. This should make it easier to browse between all 50 available paintjobs in Aerostrike.

Additionally, new high resolution settings have been added to the Video section of the Options menu. You can go all the way up to 4K! However, the game will also cap the available resolutions to the physical monitor's own resolution.

Finally, some minor audio and visual changes were added to Generators and Doors, and a lot of bugs have been squashed.

Here is a full list of patch notes:

Additions:

• Added a new Challenge menu. It is available under Info.
  > You can view all Aerostrike challenges here, both completed and pending.
  > You can also see what Paintjob each challenge rewards, and switch to it once unlocked.

Visuals:

• Improved the Generator's animation.
  
• Improved the inside of Containers.
  
• Added a tiny animation to Open doors.
  > The green "open" light will brighten and dim in a loop.
  > No other door has an animation.

Audio:

• Added a cue sound when charging and draining Generators.
  
• Added a humming sound to Generators.
  > The pitch of the sound is affected by the energy level.

Shipyard:

• The Paintjob submenus now only display unlocked paintjobs.
  > This should make it easier to browse between available paintjobs

Options:

• The game now automatically caps the resolution options to the resolution of the physical computer monitor, up to 4K.
  
• Added three higher resolution settings in the Video Options menu.
  > The new resolutions are: 2560x144, 3200x1800, and 3840x2160

Bugs:

• Fixed a bug with the Stinger while trying to use Boost Thrusters with the Toggle option.
  
• Fixed a crash when trying to take a screenshot while the game was paused.
  
• Fixed a bug where several particles would not appear correctly.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Scout 2's Plasma Machine Gun was not properly inheriting vertical momentum.
  
• Fixed the Training Arena Settings menu not properly displaying the names of the CQC and Sectioned arenas.
  
• Fixed a minor bug where the 1366x768 resolution was not saving correctly.
  > For anyone using this resolution, you can fix the issue post-update by simply saving the Video Options. There's no need to change anything.

Techical Changes:

• Made multiple background changes in preparation for Hel's Fighters.
  > Should not impact gameplay.

If anyone is met with any sort of weird bug, or simply thinks that the game should support 8K resolution, feel free to leave a comment, send an email to the support address, or make a post in either of the Steam support threads for MF-01 Aerostrike.

Stay safe pilots!

• Added dragging in the level editor
